First Questions - Question Race

Here is the latest in a line of free materials to accompany Interactile Learning's materials. This worksheet is for use with First Questions.

Question Race Teachers Notes
Our free handout today is for use with level 1 through 3 of First Questions. It is pretty self-explanatory but here are a couple of suggestions for how to use it.

For Big Classes:
If you are teaching a big class that sits in rows, give a copy of the Question Race to the first student in each row. Allow about a minute or two for each question word. The first student will write a question, then hand it to the student behind, who must answer it and then hand it back to the third student for a new, different question. When it gets to the end of the row, the last student will run it back to the front and the first student continues.

For Smaller Classes:
If you have a smaller group, you could have them sit in a circle and pass the paper around.

For Different Levels:
When teaching classes with mixed levels, be sure to mix them up so different teams have some more advanced students and some beginners. Don't worry too much if the advanced students want to come to the aid of the beginners!
